WCMS soccer took to the field Monday afternoon in a soccer play-day where the varsity soccer team competed against a hodge-podge team of coaches, parents and junior varsity players -- some surprisingly soccer ready – in a day of fun in the sun.The varsity began this game much like any other, by winning. John Jackson found the net within the first 30 seconds of the contest for the varsity squad, 1-0, and Kade Simpson found it in the next 30 seconds, 2-0.Take away those two early scores, as one of members of the parents/coaches brigade was heard to comment after the game, and you had a close contest as it ended in a 5-2 varsity win.The game was played during the day in front of members of the WCMS student body.“It was a fun game and great for the boys to show their skill to the school. This group of eighth-graders combined with the awesome group of ninth-graders I had last year are really something special,” said WCMS soccer coach Matt Jackson.
